ADAM BRODY: Let me use a word, prescient.
It's a kind of word you blur, you know, prescient.
I'm not exactly--
I think it's prescient.

Three recent searches on Google.
Are New York bagels better because of the water?
And this was a disagreement that we all got into.
My feeling was no.
The short answer is it's mostly not the water.
It's mostly how they're prepared.
They're boiled.
But the water does have something
to do with it, something to do with something or other,
some molecules.
I wasn't as right as I thought I was, but I was pretty right.
East vs. West Coast bagels, East Coast vs. West Coast baseball,
pizza.
Baseball, I think--
I'm not an avid follower.
In fact, I don't care.
But I think New York certainly has a handle on that,
although LA seems to have had a renaissance as of late.
Really, truly, what do I know?
You guys win bagels, and you win pizza.
No one is going to argue with that, although we
win [BEEP] salads, so suck it.
They're going to get less interesting from there.
Truly, I apologize for how boring they're going to be,
but perhaps you can pull something interesting out
of them.
I look up a lot of words.
Prosaic, the word prosaic is so beautiful.
It's such a beautiful, flowery word.
You know, you would think it means beautiful language
and lyrical when, in fact, it means the opposite.
So a bit of a head fake.
Could I even use it in a sentence?
I don't even want to try.
Didactic, I'm flirting with using it in real life.
Pious is good.
You know, you don't want to be a snob either.
And I love language, but there's a balance, you know?
Every couple of days, a word comes out of my mouth
that I've never said before, and it wasn't premeditated.
I just kind of have absorbed it and out it goes.
And sometimes it's right.
Sometimes it's not.
But it's kind of a thrill.
Lastly, I looked up a recipe.
I was making some sole, Dover so-- the Dover, that is.
Garlic, caper, lemony sauce, lightly fried Dover sole.
I came across a recipe.
I don't know if it's the recipe's fault or my fault.
I kind of winged it.
Regardless, it was bad.
It was buttery, just too buttery.
The flavor profile was just butter,
and it smelled like butter, and it looked like butter.
Butter's good.
And a ton of butter is delicious in the right thing,
but for some reason, this didn't work.
I also don't weirdly love the smell of butter.
Buttered popcorn, weirdly, that smell
bothers me, even though I like the taste.
